Doctors Analyzing X-ray

Spinal Stenosis—the narrowing of the spinal canal—often leaves people leaning over a shopping trolley just to get relief. 

If you find yourself needing to sit down after just a short walk, Spinal Decompression may be the "opening" your spine needs.

How we fix Spinal Stenosis with Decompression 

By lengthening the spine, decompression helps to momentarily increase the diameter of the spinal canal and the neural foramen. This relieves the "congestion" around the spinal cord and nerves, allowing for better blood flow and less leg heaviness.

How Spinal Decompression works Health Wise Chiropractic Sunbury

Why Spinal Decompression for Stenosis? 

Stenosis is a "space" problem. Decompression is a "space" solution. It provides a non-surgical way to create room in the spinal column, helping to reduce the "claudication" (cramping and heaviness) in the legs.

Who benefits from Decompression for Stenosis?

Who benefits from Decompression for Stenosis? People who feel better when leaning forward. Those whose legs feel heavy or "wood-like" after walking. Patients told they have "narrowing" in their spinal reports.

How long is the treatment Cycle? What should I expect on a typical Spinal Decompression Session ?

Phase 1: The Induction Phase (Weeks 1–2) Frequency: 5 sessions per week (daily, Monday–Friday). Goal: To rapidly reduce acute inflammation and achieve the initial "vacuum" effect to begin retracting herniated or bulging disc material. Results: Research shows that patients often experience a 50% reduction in pain scores within these first two weeks of intensive care. Phase 2: The Healing Phase (Weeks 3–4) Frequency: 3 sessions per week. Goal: To promote "imbibition" (the process of drawing nutrients, oxygen, and water back into the disc). This phase focuses on rehydrating the disc and strengthening the surrounding supportive tissues. Results: Improved mobility and a decrease in referred symptoms (like leg pain or sciatica). Phase 3: The Stabilisation Phase (Weeks 5–8) Frequency: 1–2 sessions per week. Goal: To consolidate the changes. This phase is almost always paired with core stabilization exercises to ensure the spine can maintain the newfound space without the assistance of the decompression table.
